It’s true, they are in every frame.

Film folks get ready to geek out.

Today, The Henry Art Gallery’s student advisory group meet with Ryan Adams, a Color Timer at AlphaCine Labs, for an amazing tour of their processing facility. From optical printing to digital color timing, the experience was one that would captivate any cinephile.

With more than fifty years in the business processing award-winning films like Jesus Camp, Into the Wild, Born into Brothels, and I’m Not There, Alpha Cine provides lab services for all types of film and video processing. From traditional Lab processing (negative processing, color timing & printing), digital to film, to HD & 2k color correction, telecine and conversions to HD for feature films, documentaries, commercials and short films!

In short – they are kind of amazing. Living in a digital age it’s refreshing to see that analog technologies are still, in many ways, indispensable. Oh,  by the way, do you remember Viewmasters?

Yea – they make those too.
